Dear Paul and Richard.

It was an honor to know Henry all of my life. I first knew Henry when I was a child visiting my grandparents who were his neighbors. During the last 20 years, I have lived next door to Henry in my grandparents' home.

Henry came to my home on several occasions and taught me how to cook fabulous desserts and pastries. He came to my sons' birthday parties. He made cookies for my family each Christmas which were delicious. He always had a kind and happy greeting when we would talk over the fence as we gardened.

I last saw Henry on Christmas day. My aunt, my sons, and I visited him. My sons had practiced two Christmas songs to sing for Henry. They sang him the songs so beautifully. The adults had tears in their eyes.

I will miss Henry. He was a kind and thoughtful neighbor.

It was a joy and a privilege to bring Christ in the Eucharist so many times to Henry in the last several months.
He was such a good neighbor to me and to my family for many,many years. I will keep him in my prayers.
